On Friday I got to shoot at the hospital for some good friends of ours who were having their first child! Little Posey wasn’t quite ready to come out and have fun so mom had to be in labor for a LONG time!
Here’s the new mom in the hospital.
We kept Heidi company and attempted to distract her from the contractions…
“labor room 3″
Here is Heidi going through a tough contraction, focusing on her breathing, and trying to appreciate the ice chips when she was so hungry! She did such a great job during labor and we are all so proud of her!
We supplied Kyle with his favorite candy for the ordeal, dark chocolate m&m’s, and he was a great coach for Heidi and we know he will be a great dad!
After we left the hospital on Friday night, Heidi gave birth to a beautiful baby boy at about 11 PM!
Avery Kyle Posey weighed in at 5 lbs, 3 oz and is 18 inches long!
Since little Avery was born early, the Dr. is monitoring him so he will stay in I.C.U. for a couple of days until released to come home to be with mom and dad!
There are strict rules regarding the I.C.U., so unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go in to take pictures like I really wanted to! Since the parents were the only ones allowed to take photos in there, I set up the camera and sent it in with Kyle (and Kyle’s parents) to grab some shots of little Avery…
A proud dad…
And proud grandparents…
Here Heather is with the brave mama!
We are excited to be on this adventure with you! Congratulations!
